Langford has never shirked a challenge and the middleweight contender will take on Avtandil Khurtsidze for the interim WBO title in Leicester.

But the big prize will be a July clash with Saunders for the full version of the world title if the Hatfield man’s hopes of a fight with Gennady Golovkin fail to materialise.

Khurtsidze is a small middleweight, but he is rock solid hence why his team have nicknamed him after former heavyweight destroyer Tyson.

“Langford will have to show his very best to get through”

It’s a tough fight so Langford will have to show his very best to get through it on what is a cracking card at Leicester Arena.

Light-welterweight Tyrone Nurse has his first fight with me tonight when he takes on Joe Hughes in the latest defence of his British title.

The winner of that clash will face another of my top light-welterweight prospects in Jack Catterall this summer in what would be a fight that could elevate them up the WBO rankings and nearer a world title.

That division is red hot on a domestic level with Josh Taylor and Ohara Davies two other names with rival promoters that my men could also meet one day.

There could be an international classic on the card too as South African southpaw Zolani Tete takes on Filipino puncher Arthur Villanueva.

Tete has been dubbed “Scouse African” by his Liverpool mates as the city has taken the former super-flyweight world champion under their wings.

Hopefully the home crowd in Leicester also get behind him in the bantamweight cracker.
